lyrics

It’s a quiet street in someone’s town
On stranger’s feet I mark my ground
I trace my circles round and round
I ‘m sworn to find me

In a party scene
and I’d just got loose
Its my devil’s luck to be introduced
To one who takes their shape like you It unbinds me

We knew we wouldn’t have everything
And time proves it true
I’ve got a flat-top six
dressed in steel strings
And I don’t have you

You wouldn't like the life
And I couldn't want you to

There’s a secret in this solitude
As my love unfolds
I find it’s often crude
I call you late and my words intrude
And I falter

But the miles don’t shrink by telephone
The crackling wire becomes our home
I tell you I’m okay alone
And then I wonder

I’ve got towns ahead and shows behind and I won’t be lost
I join my name to that solid line though it always costs
it takes my time it fills my mind
And it feeds the ghost of

Memories in the quiet heat
When our words were trim
And our hope was neat
We said our purpose here
Was to be complete with ‘I want you’

It’s a woman’s dream this autonomy
Where the lines connect and the points stay free
We said passion as an open sea would only haunt you

I watch the last cab turn its headlights down
To today’s sunrise
I must have wanted you in every town
And it’s no surprise
that want alone don’t sit you down
By my love eyes

I’ve got memories in the quiet heat
When our words were trim and our hope was neat
We said our purpose here
Was to be complete with ‘I want you’

about

Bitch Los Angeles, California

The longstanding queer music icon Bitch makes witchy poet pop. She does it with violins and synthesizers, and the songs she writes are spectral, heartbreaking, political, and beautiful. "Bitchcraft" is like Joni Mitchell set to a click track, it’s queer Cyndi Lauper. It’s neon pink, in your face, ready to hex you with its brilliance. ... more
